I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 65

Seeing Maxwell's fists trembling and the veins bulging aggressively against his skin, Aria's face completely lost its color.

"Max, you..."

"Aria."

Maxwell suddenly cut her off.

He looked up at her, his eyes swirling with an emotion she couldn't even begin to decipher.

"Get out."

If Aria had been paying attention, she would have noticed the microscopic tremor in his voice.

Unfortunately, her brain was completely short-circuiting over how the leaked photos were about to incinerate her career.

If she didn't kill the story right now, the fallout would be catastrophic.

"Max, we have to deal with the pictures right now! You promised me you'd protect me! My sponsors are already calling to terminate my contracts, you..."

"I said get out! Are you deaf?!"

Maxwell's explosive roar instantly strangled the words in Aria's throat.

"Look at the situation we are in, and all you care about is yourself?! Aria, this isn't the woman I remember!"

The sheer rage and utter detachment in Maxwell's eyes left Aria completely paralyzed.

It was painfully obvious that right now, there was absolutely zero love in his eyes.

Just like last night, when they were in the heat of the moment, he had gasped Lyra's name.

In that split second, she felt as though she had been struck by lightning.

Honestly, ever since she got back, she had felt Maxwell pulling away.

She had just been violently refusing to accept it.

But now, the ugly truth was staring her right in the face; denial was no longer an option.

What she didn't realize was that when Maxwell told her to leave earlier, he was desperately trying to keep a lid on his erupting temper.

If she hadn't relentlessly nagged him, he wouldn't have snapped like that.

"Are you leaving or not?"

Seeing the raw irritation in his eyes, Aria gritted her teeth and spun around to leave.

As she stepped out of the office, she paused at the door.

Vicious scandals like this almost always destroyed the woman's reputation far worse than the man's.

Realizing Maxwell wasn't going to save her, Aria lowered her gaze, having already made a ruthless decision in her head.
